Will do. Thanks!

Yeah, And some of the short i could see that, but what a waste of good material. I mean, not like the truck is a secret base that they now have intimate knowledge of how to sneak inside.. :). Im about to start my build and found the slide video that is still up super useful

I realize this is responding to a year ago, but did 5 Tons of DIscovery take all their videos down? There are like 3 on YouTube and thats it. Tired to search the forums here for a bit, but didn’t find much. I swear I have seen other build videos they did… (he also broke his leg and they sold...

Hey, I have tried to start a conversation with you a couple times, but still needs an admin involved. Could you start one with me instead? Thanks!

Noted and will do. I will ultimately start a build/make trustworthy thread. Good news is I’m about 3 miles from desert BLM land so plenty of places to go get familiar with the truck.

I got the impression they bought it that way from Midwest. Not slamming anyone, just relaying what he told me. It has 1600 miles on it so I know it never got used, like freaking ever. They took the controller unit out so I am about to tear apart the dash to go looking for the harness.

Thanks, I had been looking for a while. Totally have the mechanical aptitude, but not a motor pool mechanic unfortunately. But I do like to be able to get myself out of problems, so this truck and i are about to get real close :)

AC and highway gears, but disabled CTIS. But hey, I think this makes 10 posts!!!

Picked it up from a guy who was going to build an overland truck out of it then as he went to soundproof the cab got told”that will never be quiet”. So he bought a 2023 4 door RAM 5500 4x4 and this sat on his lot for 2 years

I reached out to these guys and basically sent them the pictures off the eastern surplus site to see if they can do the ends or not. I will take my cable to them in a couple weeks after they verify they can or not and see if it can be reproduced for others. In the meantime, i hope to still...

Im interested, but not sure I have enough posts to PM you. Is that your phone number in your sig line? If so I will reach out tomorrow. Thanks!

FYI, awesome thank you for the quick reference.

100% will do that. Much like the Willy’s forum its places like this that become the only place to find the knowledge you need. Thanks! D

I was back and forth on this one and the opportunity was right. But aren’t they always. Ultimately this A0 will get me started and I can always move it all to another platform later if needed.

And what a party it is.. :). I stumbled into that part number from Eastern Surplus and was googling around. Then called the 3-4 folks like them that might have it. One said they considered making a run, but wasn’t justified yet, otherwise everyone was out of stock..

Hello all, I recently acquired a ‘95 M1085 to ultimately build an overlanding vehicle. Previously a Willys Jeep guy, so this is a big jump :). Within the first 24 hours of ownership (and a small drive in the neighboorhood) I managed to snap the throttle cable inside the cab just below the...
